M800 Powered Infantry Medglove
The M800 is a modified version of the standard issue Medglove, but this model is built specifically for Pow-ered Infantry Suits. It replaces the equipment on the dominant hand of the suit wearer. The Medglove contains a tricorder, hypospray, defibrillator unit. To make operation simple, the glove is voice activated in place of buttons or touch panels.
 * Tricorder
 * The main component of the Medglove is its medical tricorder which is enclosed in the portion covering the forearm. This tricorder unit has only about 75% of the processing and memory capacity of the standard medical tricorder. The scanner for the tricorder is in the palm of the glove. It is activated by flattening the palm completely and waving it over the patient.
 * Defibrillator
 * The tips of the glove’s thumb and fourth finger have leads for the defibrillator. To perform defibrilla-tion, the medic need only say “defibrillate” and say the amount of voltage to apply. They then place the leads over in the appropriate positions on the chest. The defibrillation charge is delivered within 3 seconds of the glove making contact with the chest.
 * Hypospray
 * The index finger of the glove has a hypospray built in. This is connected via a small tube to the fore-arm unit, which houses compartments for the five standard EMS meds (about 20 doses each). After the proper med is selected, a gentle push of the fingertip into the skin delivers the medication.

M856 Individual Medical Kit
Due to the vast number of differing species and individual medical conditions that serve in the SFMC, it is far easier for each marine to carry a medical kit designed for their personal use. The size of the pouch is 18x15x11.5 centimeters, able to be attached to the straps of the STAMBARS vest and is coated with the ap-propriate electrochromic finish. It is designed for use by personnel inexperienced in medicine in the application of self-aid or biddy-aid. To aid in medical treatment, the pouch is embedded with a data storage device capable of linking with the marine’s personal computer. The data contained in the device contains all the nec-essary reference material needed to appropriately use the contents of the pouch. The physical contents of the kit make it possible for marines to treat minor injuries easily and even stabilize more serious wounds without medical personnel.

M882 Combat Lifesaver Kit
One member of each squad or team is equipped with an expanded medical kit designed to provide enhanced buddy-care. The M882 is not designed to equip medical personnel but allow a properly trained marine to quickly respond to serious medical conditions or trauma before the arrival of medical personnel. The size of the pouch is 30x25x20 centimeters, able to be attached to the straps of the STAMBARS vest and is coated with the appropriate electrochromic finish. To aid in medical treatment, the pouch is embedded with a data storage device capable of linking with the marine’s personal computer. The data contained in the device con-tains all the necessary reference material needed to appropriately use the contents of the pouch. The physi-cal contents of the kit make it possible for marines to treat serious wounds or stabilize the critically injured without medical personnel.
